Jan water fasting - aim for 21 days

I am on day 5 now. Felt sooooooo cold yesterday i went to bed at 8pm to wrap myself up.
My hunger is receding but today still feel quite cold.
I know Yas said her skin starts to clear around day 3-4, but for me it’s the opposite: i ALWAYS break out in the first week… right now i am experiencing massive break out all over my face :frowning: i think this is my skin pushing out the toxins? who know…
i have fasted before and always suffer from keto rash, which usually emerges around day 3. This time i havent spotted much rash yet - kind surprised! If there is no rash, i think i could keep going. In the past the keto rash was SOOO bad i always had to abandon my fast and inject a lot of carbs back into the system. Due to repeat fasting, i now have a lot of skin pigmentation left by the rash on my torso, really not pretty :frowning:

Day 6 - lost about 3KG so far. Today i am actually feeling hungry, i think my appetite must have been triggered yesterday. Feeling rather tired i had to take a nap on the couch this afternoon.
Sleep disturbance is real… i woke up at 5AM this morning and was unable to fall back to sleep again.
Hope i can manage some much needed sleep tonight… :frowning:

Day 9 now: keto rash has returned :frowning:
My torso and back now have been covered by extensive rash, the itchyness wake me up several times at time. If you scratch, you might bleed. This is the most difficult thing for me during a fast. I dont know how long i could go on from this point.
I have lost about 4KG so far, weight loss has been plateaued for a day now. No change from day 8. This is expected.
I’ll try to reach day 10 and see how i feel about the rash. I may be forced to stop, again, due to the rash. SAD.

Day 12 now - no change in weight, slightly change in inches. My weight has been plateued for tree days now. I’ve decided that i wont weight myself till i reach day 15… My cycle is coming up i guess that has something to do with it as well, slightly disappointing but expected.

Don’t worry, you will be losing inches and after your cycle, you will more.
